DJT shares, representing Donald Trump’s company, have seen a series of ups and downs in recent months.
However, Trump’s surprise victory seems to have had a positive impact, contributing to a recovery in its share price.
For Tesla and Elon Musk, now one of Donald Trump’s most powerful allies in his victory, Tesla’s share value was at its lowest on November 4, at $243.52.
Finally, investors in Bitcoin, which Trump has suggested in recent months could be used to finance the US government’s multi-billion debts, probably viewed Trump’s victory positively, as the value of Bitcoin also rose. On November 4, it was at $68,346, and the day after the election, it had climbed to $74,552.
It remains to be seen how the coming months will evolve with Trump’s imminent installation in the White House for a second term.
